Etymology

From Middle Irish cisten (compare Scottish Gaelic cidsin, Manx kishteen, kishtyn), a late form of cistenach, a borrowing from Middle English kitchen, kichene, kuchen, from Old English cycen, cycene ‎(“kitchen”), from Proto-Germanic *kukinǭ ‎(“kitchen”), probably a borrowing of Vulgar Latin cucīna ‎(“kitchen”), from Latin coquō ‎(“I cook”), from Proto-Indo-European *pekʷ- ‎(“to cook, become ripe”).
